Interstingly,Emraan Hashmi is married to a Hindu and he gives his wife freedom to perform her poojas.”I’m not against any religion. It’s just that I have been brought up in a predominantly Muslim house hold where pujas were not a regular or familiar thing. So, I just don’t know how to do puja. In fact I am married to a Hindu woman, and I have never ever asked her to convert or to follow my religion. She has her own space in our house where she has her puja room and she does puja every day and I do my namaz,”Emraan Hashmi adds.

Emraan Hashmi even requested media reporters not to make any serious issue on sensitive religious case.
